Male convicts are just grey and black. Females Have a bright orange color in the belly area along with the normal black and grey coloration.

males are typically larger than females and are just a black and grey colour. females are smaller, and i think are more pretty since they have more colour on them. they are black and grey, but they also have orange on their belly and they can also have bits of blue, green and yellow on them.

Here's what I found on it:

Cichlids are such a diverse group, that it would take a small novel to give specifics for sexing each species. While many are not easily differentiated, there are a few rules of thumb that apply to quite a few species. Males are often slimmer, but larger than females, and are more vibrantly colored. The dorsal and anal fins of the male are more pointed, larger, and more flowing than the female. In many species the male will display egg shaped markings on the anal fin. Some males have a bump on the head, sometimes referred to as a nuchal hump.
